Jamie,
your highly critical post is worthwhile reading.
I like your antithesis for 'reductive operands' and
would almost like what you wrote:
> "Personal Identity" is a de-fault resultant of the
> structure of the universe.<
unless I had this idiosyncrasy against axioms, givens,
accepted de-faults etc. All as crutches for the not
(yet?) understood/explainable necessities to feel
comfortable within the theories we embrace.
Of course to use "structure of this universe" is
selective for THIS universe and to refer to some
structure is translatable to "and what may that be?" I
mean "structure". Which I may understand as "relations
within identifiable components - back and forth", but
I do not bank on much acceptence for that.
I seek clearness in processes (changes) and effects
they exercise on "each other" - as WE think of it,
since in the wholeness there are NO separate entities
to react.
About the 'personal identity': I sense a
'conscious'(?)
existence in everything, WE consider separate
entities. I am at the immature level of considering
internal and self-reflexive "togetherness" factors in
functional and interconnected associations (including
us, humans) which covers the undivisable wholeness.
It is not far from your (de-fault) axiom, but I do not
give up to learn more about its details (will I ever?)
and not sit back woth a complacent acceptance of the
"given".
